My first impressions were that portland’s fall colors were somewhat lacking. Less vibrant, dull, nonexistent. But, there is a wonderful abundance of soft yellows. They almost glow when it is overcast, and in the sun are very nice. There are some deep reds about too, one tree with narrow leaves comes to mind. But I only have yellow for you today. The narrow streets make some nice tunnels!

Today was a gray rainy day, the clouds far off in the sky. Sometimes sprinkling water, other times emptying buckets, other times dry (but then the trees are dripping still). A day when you can bike in just a long sleeve – if you time it right. . . .
